AS Roma’s Greek defender Kostas Manolas released an interview to SKY Sport Italia in which clarified a few things that, according to him, were misinterpreted by the fans.

SKY Sport Italia tried to understand more about his future and his actual moment at Roma.

Empoli? – This is a match that we absolutely have to win. Even if Empoli is at the bottom of the standings, they play well. We must be focused and win.

Napoli vs Juventus? – I will not support any of these teams. It’s going to be a great match between two big teams.

Can Roma still win something this season? – I hope so. We are still competing on two fronts and even if it’s going to be difficult we have to try to do our best.

Overturn the match against Lazio? – We had this chance against Lyon but if the ball doesn’t go into the net we cannot do anything. I believe that if we’ll be able to replicate the same performance we have a chance to overturn the result.

Barriers? – We are very happy about that. Our fans will give us an extra push.

Your future? – As I read in newspapers I will be playing for Real Madrid, Barcelona, Arsenal, Juventus, and Inter. Only God knows my future. What I do know is that I have another two years of contract with Roma.

Are you still in tied to Roma? – Of course. Everyone supported me, especially the fans. I will give 110% for this team.

Your words about Nainggolan? – I’ve never said that he should leave the club. Roma is a Top club, otherwise I wouldn’t be playing here. He is a great champion and he could play wherever he wants. If he wants to remain at Roma he can do so, I am not pushing him to go.

Spalletti? – He taught me to always believe in victory. He believes in it all the time.
